Tips to Get your Query Letter Noticed!
- Some simple steps you can take to make your letter different:
- Single space your letter.
- Try to make your letter one page
- Use spell check!
- Use colored paper, not to bright but something a little different
- Use creative packaging to send your letter, maybe a plain white box rather than an envelope. It will stand out on their desk, and get opened first.
- FOLLOW UP - call or send a note, calling is better but please remember to follow up!
